I was sympathetic to views like rank-discounted (negative) utilitarianism, but not since seeing the paper on the convergence with egoism, and I haven’t found a satisfactory way around it. Tentatively, I lean towards negative prioritarianism/utilitarianism or negative lexical threshold prioritarianism/utilitarianism (but still strictly negative, so no positive welfare), or something similar, maybe with some preference-affecting elements.
